True

58
Q

Membrane bones except for head of condyle and articular fossa which develop by endochondral ossification from the specialised cartilage covering these surfaces.

Q

How does the condyle and squamous temporal articular surface differ from articular cartilage?

A

Because it has a perichondrium like covering and in the case of the cartilage covering/forming the head of the condyle has vascular channels within the cartilage for the first five years or so of life. Cartilage is reduced to fibrocartilage when growth has ceased BUT CAN REACTIVATE.

Hyaline/artocular cartilage.

This moves the head of condyle from contact with posterior part of disc to anterior part. Closure reverses this.

68
Q

What is the forward/down movement limited by?

A

Posterior attachment of capsule to temporal bone

69
